A few days ago I was updating my information on the Solution for wellness web site and I got up to get the phone and I fell over the power cord that was behind the dining room table, I didnt notice and pain that day and i went on and went to a Noon meeting and then came home that day. When my roommate got home I asked her about moving my TV into my room so I could watch it before I went to bed or if I was in pain I could watch it until I fell asleep. So I picked up the 19" TV so far so good then I took it to my room and put it on the bed and went and got the DVD player, I noticed that the dresser wasn't centered in front of the bed so I tried sliding it and that didnt work so I got my back up against it and pushed that did move it. Then My roommate came in and asked me why I moved the dresser by my self and told her that I didnt think it was a big deal moving it well the nest day yesterday when I woke up I couldn't move at all until I laid on the heating pad for 30 min. Then I got up and tried to walk around a little then Knowing I was in pain I went back to bed. I called the VA telecare number and explained what had happened and asked her to please get a note to my Doctor about the pain and what had happened. So The Doctor called back this morning at 9:30 am and He told me what the changes were in my medications from 20Mg a day to 30Mg a day of the Methadone so I took my first additional 10Mg at about noon today and I felt dizzy. The Doctor said no driving for a week until I get used to the Methadone and I am to take the Perocet as needed or for right now every 4 hours.I have been driving some I drove to the New Years Meeting and then I drove home abput 10 pm I didnt really meet anyone or get any phone numbers. But I did Call someone and I was wanting to date but she wants to be friends ao thats cool with me as long as I have a Women to hang out with. I do have issues with men and I will be working with a VA Theripist on thse and some of my Abuse Issuews relating to the Men and women, But I was nevewr sexualy abused by women soI feel safer around a women, I have a roommate who is my bes fdriend and I am blessed to have her around she is in recovery too so is helps having someone to talk to. I am on the following medications :
Drugs I am Taking
Multivitamin Cap, Calcium Carb 1.5 mg 2 times a day, Alendronate 70mg once a week, Gabapentin 300 mg 2 in the morning and 3 at nite, Venafaxine HCL 150 mg 1 a day, Cyclobenzaprine HCL 10 mg 1/2 tablet as needed, Divalproex 500 mg 1 at night, Trazadone HCL 50 mg as needed for sleep, Omeprazole 20 mg 2 a day for stomach acid, Methadone 10 mg 2 tablets 3 times a day for pain, Perocet 5mg 325 mhg aceacillion 2 every 4 hrs for pain as needed. The Methadonenwas just changed due to increased pain due to a fall that I had.
The doctor said that the Methadone builds up in your body and you will notice that you are impaired all at once, I am dizzy right now and I dont want to even get out of bed, My case manager is coming over this afternoon or in the morning she wants to go over my bills and see where I am spending extra money the only place I spent any extra money last month at Christmas was Wall Mart, and In havent been back there I dont need anything from there right now. I have what I need for now. Maybe some more pots and pans the Teflon wore off the cheap ones that I got at the dollar store, So I do want to get some more of those but it doesn't have to be right now, I just want maybe my case manager can drive me to the store to get some soup and some sandwich meat and bread. That's all I need right now I'm not going and buy at lot of things I cant afford a 100.00 shopping for food right now, I will have to get by with less food this month. I know the medication makes me not want to eat as much some days I only eat once a day if that. I have a Solution For wellness Plan but i cant afford to buy whats on the menu there. so I'm will just get what I can for now and maybe nest month I will try it out. That's about all for now. I am revising this blog for several reasons mostly that there is a solution to my problems and I may not find it in AA I have memory problems that prevent me from remembering anything that I read ion the Big Book the only reason I know anything at all in I have been around thew AA rooma for 20 years and this time I am in to stayI kn ow if I go out I am dead so I cant play with the Medications I m on and booze I will be in sereious trouble. I know that my life is goingf along slow and I want to speed it up and when I tried I just gotb all hosed up so I have to be patient for the blessings that are to come. I know that I am Blessed having what I do have in my life. I have a very Nice Place to live
